(Hopefully, this upload works this time.)

2 lines towards the end of "and a new earth" (reprise). I was just working on Typography, but these visuals and movements struck me, so I had to make it all happen. Use it or not, I needed to get it out of my head. My little "narcotic moment of creative bliss."

When I envision "and a new earth" (reprise) I see the film starting smooth, to adjust the audience to the display, with a slower pacing of softer visuals in longer takes (easier to grasp and follow) but as the piece builds the pacing would increase and the visuals would become more and more chaotic... hence my treatment, because I would see these lines toward the end just sort of unfolding into each other. Make sense?

I have ideas for the next 2 lines that follow these as well, but don't want to jump on those until I get feedback on these, and my envision, since they follow very closely in style/treatment.

What do you think?

Hey guys... I had a few hours spare and did this. I traced over catsolen's drawings, and added my own little surprise at the end.

I also had a little go at this. Again, I've added the audio for the part I think it's best for, but if someone thinks there's a better part then, that's cool too. I see this part going straight into the OWWW for the for flowers. 

ps. I've uploaded a new MP4 version for people having trouble downloading and using this clip, that you can find below in the results or copy and paste this http://hitrecord.org/records/634459. Thanks :)

Being independent means nothing unless you have someone to share it with.

(I'm not thinking of codependence in the negative dictionary definition sense. Rather, I'm viewing it as a relationship with a friend and lover whom you can share independence's joys and struggles with.)

Mixed media: acrylic on canvas and all the fuzzy old photographs I could find.

I'm a fan of Catpower and decided to design this based on one of their songs.

that's a full run through the colors sans button at the end of the video, in case anyone would like it clean.

Why not?

2011. Just playing with watercolors, and here's the result. I think a lot can be done with it, so hopefully it finds some use or inspires someone.
